Britain's third inquiry into the 2003 invasion of Iraq is underway. The previous Hutton and Butler reports were written off as establishment whitewashes with main government players emerging as pristine as snow. However, the current review chaired by John Chilcot — a Privy Counsellor who has been described as "a Mandarin with a safe pair of hands" — is empowered to lay blame at the feet of government bodies and individuals. But that's as far as it goes. The published outcome could embarrass the potentially culpable but they certainly won't have to peer out of their living room windows waiting for the police to come a-knocking.
